Our second stay. Room 15 on this occasion. Charming historic building in the heart of Woodstock. Within a short walk to the gates of Blenheim Palace. Spacious rooms all individually decorated and very comfortable. Pleasant facilities. Nice bathing products, plus tea/ coffee making facilities. Staff are super. Friendly and efficient. From check in to breakfast. Breakfast is good value, with a reasonable choice available. Car parking available onsite ( free), but get there early to avoid having to use the public car park behind the hotel.

Rooms need USB charging points by the beds. No air conditioning ( but fans available and the windows do open). No fridge or safe in the room. No other food available at the hotel. But there is a small bar if drinks are desired. No electric charging points for cars ( but some are available in the public car park nearby) Prices are pretty high when events are on at Blenheim Palace. But having stayed previously we decided to just enjoy it

Friendly and helpful staff who made us feel very welcome. Lovely sitting area by the bar with a log burner; we could have sat there the whole evening just relaxing. Our twin room felt newly refurbished and fresh. The beds were very comfortable with enough pillows and blankets if needed. The ensuite bathroom was spacious with a great size shower. The breakfast had plenty on offer. You can choose from full English, pancakes with bacon or fruit, mashed avocado on brown bread, or a porridge. In addition to that, there were other breakfast items available on a buffet. The service was absolutely fantastic. Marlborough Arms is located in the centre of Woodstock. There are several restaurants nearby, as is Blenheim Palace. There is a private car park at the back of the building.

We could have had a couple of hooks on the wall for our coats in our room, but that is just a small detail. Everything was really great.

Excellent choice for breakfast. Lovely staff and owners. Nothing too much trouble even when it was the saddest of days for the family and staff. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. The Marlborough is a very comfortable place to spend a few days away.

I struggled with the uneven floorboards in the bedroom we were originally due to stay in, (I have balance problems) and we were in the eves of The Marlborough hotel which is an old coach house so this is to be expected. The owners and staff immediately changed the room to a modern suite to help me. This was fantastic.

It is a lovely old property with a lot of character & has a nice cosy feel. Our room was very spacious with a good en-suite,. Thea very large bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast was dry well cooked & plentiful. The location is perfect with numerous restaurants in close proximity with the Blenheim Palace estate within easy walking distance. I must give a special mention to the staff, all of whom were extremely friendly & professional. We really enjoyed our stay at the Marlborough Arms. Thank you so much!

Nothing

Amazing room (Room 10)! Enormous comfortable bed, and lounging area. Great Bathroom. Staff were excellent and very good breakfast included in the price. On site parking was good too. It was my wife's birthday, and there was a complimentary chilled bottle of Prosecco and a card on arrival, which was a nice touch. Elena (sorry if that's spelt wrong) was a wonderful host and very helpful to us.

Very minor point, but I though the toiletries in the shower were too high. I found them difficult to use, as I have a gammy shoulder. Everything important was great though.

the breakfast had everthing you could have asked for and the staff were excellant especially Andrea who was very friendly and obliging. The room was lovely and big and everything was catered for. Blenheim Palace was right on the doorstep which was the main reason for our visit. There was also 10% discounts in various restaurants and pubs in the town which was great.

There wasn't anything I didn't like

Staff always very friendly and welcoming. Brilliant location for Blenheim Palace and close to some great pubs/ restaurants. The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable.

Could maybe do with some updating in places, although appreciate it is an old building with lots of historical character.

Proper old coaching inn. We loved lounging around in the downstairs room with comfy chairs, warm fire and good coffee. Also the tipsy floor in our room was quite fun. We were by the road but the sound insulation worked well (not if you open the window!). The breakfast is excellent and the staff lovely. Woodstock is very attractive (good pubs and restaurants- Marlborough Arms doesn’t do food or draft beer) and Blenheim a stone’s throw. Easy to get the bus into centre of Oxford.

It’s not cheap and our standard room was not exciting (could add a few touches to decor). Shower needs a mat for safety. We received some spam trying to get our bank and ID details in message via booking.com but probably not the MA’s fault.

The staff were great, very friendly and helpful. Bed very comfy, the shower was a bit tricky as had to step up into it and cubicle small. The breakfast was really good.

Just the shower and the access to the room, but hey it's a beautiful old coaching inn with loads of character.

A characterful building, free car park, good location, very nice staff. An excellent breakfast.

Difficult stairs to access attic room, but it is a 15th century coaching inn! No ensuite single rooms, but I was upgraded without having to ask and with no extra cost.
